    Re: striped keelback or garter?

    Thanks very much all! Where could I buy a frog leg? Almost any frog I could find where I live would be poisonous, huge, and sleeping underground right now. I know I'm not supposed to feed goldfish because of parasites, so what live feeder fish are safe?

    The most widely used are guppies.

    And goldfish are not necessarily bad due to parasites, rather an enzyme called thiaminase, it blocks thiamine absorption and causes vitamin deficiency.

    You can actually buy a great deal of snake food right at your local grocery store. The seafood section you can get strips of trout, salmon, tilapia... all which are safe to feed provided you make sure they are raw, unsalted, unseasoned, plain fish. It's even better if there is skin still on it. Most seafood sections will also have froglegs, if not, a seafood market in your area should have them.
